Linux release:
“Hi Todd!
Our priority is Windows. However, we want to release the game on Mac and Linux too, but only when we know that the game runs perfectly on these platforms. We’ll do [everything] possible to have the game on Linux.”
Once again, we have another developer keen to release a stable port. Not that 3D2 Entertainment would not benefit from a solid day-one Linux release. But again, and I’ve said this before, making sure everything is running smooth on one platform takes priority. Small development studios do not have the manpower.
The Crow’s Eye Story

With no breaks in the case, days go by, and more people go missing–not only students, but policemen and professors at the institution vanish without a trace. Within days, the authorities and the director decide to shut down the university indefinitely, and the case is closed, never to be spoken of again.
